There’s something about throwing some charcoal on the old-fashioned grill, dousing it with lighter fluid, and then burning the hair off your hand as you throw the match in, that makes me feel good about summer. I mean, summer isn’t my favorite of seasons — scratch that, it’s my least favorite season — but there are a few key things that you can do during the summer that have more of an impact in the hot sun than in the cold snow; barbecuing is one of them.
That being said, everyone these days has one of those fancy gas barbecues where all you have to do is press a button and throw on the meat, which is great when you’ve got company over and all you need the grill for is to make some quick burgers, but when the focal point of your gathering is a barbecue, nothing really beats slapping some meat on an old rusty grill with the charcoal slowly ashing up as the smoke fills the air. Barbecuing at its best.
So for those of you in the southern hemisphere, I apologize, but for us up here in Toronto, it’s not summer. It’s barbecue season.
Taken in Centennial Park in the west end of Toronto, just hours before we were caught in the middle of a vicious lightning storm.
On a very awesomely related note, Greg Story of Airbag just wrote an amazing weblog post on the charcoal barbecue. Check it out. (Oh, and I also shamelessly stole the title of this photo from his post.)

Gas + charcoal BBQ – Sydney Madang Restaurant
Image by avlxyz
Perhaps part of the attraction here is the presence of a charcoal barbecue to give the meats a smokey flavour. To speed up the process, the gas flame was used to start the coals burning. Ingenious!

As a Melbournite, we’re used to having great food and drink in tiny laneways and other hidden secrets that you smugly keep to youself. So it was quite a surprise to find this little gem down a dodgy laneway off Pitt Street in flashy Sydney.
The queues outside, so common at Sydney’s more popular hangouts was here as well. A sign of good food ahead!
Apart from the more typical barbeque fare, there are hotpots that we would have loved to have tried but unfeasible with just two of us dining.

Made some killer salads for lunch the other day. Topped them with some sliced grilled steak marinated in soy sauce and sesame oil. It was so frickin’ good! Cool and refreshing yet hearty and filling, perfect for a wicked hot and humid day.

We decided to try the method of preparation found here:
steamykitchen.com/blog/2007/08/28/how-to-turn-cheap-choic…
The meat was in no way salty, in fact, I almost never salt my food and found after cooking that the steak wanted a little salt. It was so tender after sitting for an hour in the salt that I had to use two hands to lift it lest it fall apart. It was not that fall apart tender when I unwrapped it.
It was delicious.
PS: Charcoal, not Propane. Sorry Hank Hill.
